She’s not from Africa any more than I’m from Germany, Ireland, Scotland or England.

Were either of us from those places and migrated we would be part of two wholes.

Nope. I was born an American. A true U.S. Male.

So did she get married? She was happy when they made it legal but she refers to her “Partner” not spouse.
Funny the gays want same sex marriage but most do not want to get married. The gay men and women I have known have the most dysfunctional relationship you could imagine.

“Yay government!”

That is such a disgusting statement she made. I could care less if she’s gay. What she is celebrating is surrendering the entire nation’s liberty, what’s left of it, is being controlled by 3 or 4 people. YAY!

Well, if we had the government of your scenario, we wouldn’t have an Obamacare to deal with, therefore negating the need for the decision... :-(.

At the time, she tweeted, "I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you." Many people saw it as her way of publicly coming out. Asked to explain, Raven replied, "That was my way of saying I'm proud of the country. But, I will say that I'm in an amazing, happy relationship with my partner. A woman."

So she's saying that she wants to force others to recognize same sex marriage but she doesn't need marriage to make her relationship with her same sex partner "better".

It was about changing the culture, not getting married. In Texas and other states, they are seeking the ability to get divorced in a state that does not recognize their marriage to begin with. It isn't about "love". It's about radical politics.

I really admire her refreshing attitude about rejecting identity politics

Pols pretending to be constitutional conservatives could learn from her. Identifying identity politics as one thing that's destroying the US could be a great campaign issue.

Message is it applies to the invasion of the US, for example: If you don't identify as American, go home!

I know a few myself. It always amazes me when blacks constantly throw out that tag “African American”, even the government tagging EVERY black person as “African American”. It’s like tagging every white person as “Irish American”. This all comes from liberals, they want blacks to be constantly reminded of slavery “You were taken from Africa” even though for all they know their ancestors could have been from Australia or Spain or France or Europe. A black friend of mine traced her ancestry to Spain and France so when liberals tag her with “African American” she corrects them, usually with a expletive. She calls herself “American” and if liberals demand further information she then says her ancestry is from Spain and France. She actually had one woman argue with her once, can you believe it? “No no, you are from Africa!” Yeah if we go back 200.000 years, but it’s unreal how liberals have so brainwashed people into thinking “Every dark skinned person is from Africa where the evil white man stole them.”

I’m Swiss, Scot and Cherokee, with other minor natural flavors, and it’s too much damned hassle to take inventory every time I want to say something.

That goes back to the 1800s when it didn’t matter what color your skin was, if you had one drop of negro blood, you were considered a slave unless you were able to pass as white and kept your secret. Still using the one drop of African blood makes you African (no slaves anymore, except to the 2 reverends...jesse and the other guy and those that follow them.)..
